• Source: Tributyltin chloride

Tributyltin chloride is an organotin compound with the formula (C4H9)3SnCl. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents.




Preparation and reactions


The compound is prepared by a redistribution reaction by combining stannic chloride and tetrabutyltin:

3 (C4H9)4Sn + SnCl4 → 4 (C4H9)3SnCl
Tributyltin chloride hydrolyzes to the oxide [(C4H9)3Sn]2O
